Sew in all the ends of the leaf. Pick up two stitches at the base of the leaf and knit an i-cord about an inch long with double pointed needles.

Another gorgeous leaf …… and many thanks for visiting my blog. x
Thankyou so much for the pattern, have just finished a little leaf.
Dear Victoria,
Thanks so much, you have a lovely blog:)
Warmly
Linda
Thank you for sharing pattern, the colour and the leaf are so cute.
This leaf makes me happy.
Oh I just love your new leaf Linda and thank you so much for sharing it along with so many of your other patterns. You are so generous 🙂 I’ve bookmarked it so that I can knit it this fall. I’ve got a basket of felt and knit leaves for our nature table and will definitely be adding this one 🙂 Happy Sunday.
I love your leaves patterns, thank you for sharing!

but so sorry because I use Vietnamese.
Oh, look at those leaves! How lovely! I’m going to have to revisit these when autumn comes here… xo
Thanks everyone:)
The knitted leaves are really fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern!
I love the leaf! It is really so pretty. I knit some leaves for the Seasons Round Exchange a couple of years ago and had so much fun with them. Thanks for the pattern–they would be great for a garland!
I just love all of your leaf patterns. Thank you so much for kindly sharing them with us! I know I look forward to knitting some up.
Cynthia, have you done this pattern yet? if so, how many stitches did you have on needle when you reached row 15? when I get there I don’t have enough stitches to do what it says.
Thjank you so much for being generous enough to share your Beautiful Patterns, I have enjoyed Knitting your Patterns, Thank you
i’m having trouble when i get to the 15th row, if i’m doing it right when i get to the 13th row i have 7 stitches and on the 14th row, but the 15th row, the way i read it; it would be impossible to do all them stitches into such few stitches, am i missing something? other than that it’s a beautiful pattern, very nice
Lillian, I had the same issue. This is what I did for Row 15:
Increase 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches (not 4), purl 1 stitch, knit 2 stitches, knit into the front and back of the last stitch.
Hope that helps!
Did you also have a problem with row 35? I’ve just been omitting the k2 on either side of the purl. Or should there be another row of increase 1 on both sides of the row?
